This was a very cool build and video!!! Increased my interest in the new AE. Awesome!!

I commented here 5 months ago, but, every time I watch this I love it so much! She is such a cool character, from her looks, to her character, to her abilities!! If you have made a role-playing game with this build I would love to know so I can watch it!! You make such cool builds that I really want to watch you play a complete game with one. I also love the unique names you give each character you build. If you have made a complete game with one of your coolest characters, please let me know!!! Thanks from Shirley Curry

Its so refreshing to see a necromancer who isn't outright evil! Even if she's a neutral character, and not a really "good" one, it still escapes from the "necromancer bad" cliché. What a nice build!

im a big fan of the angle in the backstory, of a wholesome necromancer who is just trying to keep the farm going, and being super close with her mom's memory. thats 10/10 how you write a complex character with nuance

As a person who hates evil playthroughs, I was worried the next necromancer would be a 'I am death incarnate' character to contradict the auramancer, but you've managed to subvert expectations again! I hope we don't have to wait too long for the crossbow and unarmed builds!

Hey Look at That! The Skypothesis Cinematic Universe continues to grow with an epic rivalry between the Sun Fire Herald and the Bone Shepherd! Backstory wise, I like THIS type of Necromancer, the type who isn't actively using Necromancy as a tool for evil. It just never crosses her mind that what she's doing is Taboo or Unethical.

Conjure Bone Colossus looks like an awesome spell! Glad to see you do a build on it. You’re making me itch to get the game!

As always, I love the backstory, roleplay, and aesthetic! I like how The Bone Shepherd kind of “accidentally” fell into the use of necromancy and that serves her in her role of protector rather than having her motivation simply be evil. The reference to The Whiteskull Warlock and the tie-in to The Sunfire Herald are awesome additions to The Bone Shepard’s backstory. I like how well the main questline seems to fit in with her motivations after seeing a skeletal dragon being raised from the dead. It’s neat how you integrated the farming feature into her roleplay since farming and herd animals were an important part of her upbringing. 💀

I'll be honest, I haven't had the urge to play Skyrim in years, but I never skip a Skypothesis video. The editing and atmosphere alone are enough to get me to watch all the way through even if I probably won't ever make a build anytime soon

Welcome back to Skypothesis! The necromancer won in our poll and we’re excited to kind of surprise drop the build today - hope you enjoy! Thanks for your comments, as well as liking and subscribing - it really helps us grow the channel! See you all again soon! 💙🤍 👾Join the Skypothesis Discord: discord.gg/wSMzmDy7q2 👕Check out our new merch shop and support the channel: skypothesis.creator-spring.com/

Was the part of the backstory about the Orc bodies being buried in proper graves and the Breton bodies all piled up a reference to one of your previous character builds, or to one that you are planning on releasing in the future?

Cool I really like necromancers In games and other builds people have came up with In general. It’s channels like this that made me want to start creating Skyrim builds as well, keep It up!

I like roleplaying the Staff of Jyrik Gaulderson being the same staff as a healing staff and a ward staff, since they look the same.

It never occurred to me just how well dragonplate suits a heavily armored necromancer! 1. Loved the A'shaba cameo 2. Loved the use of Goldenplains Plantation (AKA "the Farm") and it's attendant unhappy ghosts needing to be put to rest. 3. Bone Collossus+multiple skeleton minions+Gallows Hall permanent minion+Bone Wolf? An undead horde without the Ritual Stone/Aetherial Crown glitching-yes please! (I call that the "Dead Man's Party" after an old Oingo Boingo song) Unexpected icing on the cake: Ancano hates your skeleton minion. Nicely done!

I like how you put the quotes at the beginning and fade all but one or two words that are related to the build. A nice little editing touch.

Always a pleasure to see new builds from you guys!

So psyched to have you guys back for another season! Another great build!

I was in need for a new necromancer build and you delivered it so well! I loved it. Excellent work, guys! ❤

Just got back into Skyrim and I’m so excited for this channel! Awesome work guys!

Another amazing build guys! I’m looking forward to the unarmed build you guys are working on! Keep up the amazing work

What a great channel this is, I've looked at your builds now and they seem like a lot of un. Keep it up!

Truly admire all the effort you guys put into these videos! Perhaps the best channel on youtube for creative Skyrim builds :D

Exactly the build I'd hoped was coming! Absolutely brilliant!

Hello!! I've been a long-time Skyrim fan, and the game actually got me into D&D, my newest obsession. My latest character I'm playing is a Kensei Monk in 5e, with a heavy Samurai/Ronin feel, so imagine my abject joy at your Redoran Swordmaster build! 😁 Saw that and your Ghost of Atmora build (don't think I missed the fact that it sounds like Ghost of Sparta lol 😉) and I immediately subscribed with the Bell icon clicked!! Few people really get the appeal of unmodded buggy Skyrim and I'm SOOO GLAD you guys do!! Much power and peace to y'all, and I'm a hard-core fan! Infact, just finished binge-watching all your Skyrim builds and now I have this to watch as well lol. Gonna be awesome!! Once again, thank you thank you thank you! (Creepy Cicero version lol) Y'all are amazing! 👏

Just what I’ve been looking for a build based around the bone collosus I also really like and recommend the death preist

I thought this might be the spell focus, but didn't expect the aesthetic and overall concept. Good point about the different forms of necromancy. Of course, that's the kind of thing that makes me indecisive when it comes to actually playing. :) I like that you incorporated the farming feature; it's a nice additional aspect of the character through gameplay, coincidentally similar to the Sunfire Herald's guild. I think the Shepherd could also get training in Block, since one of the (only two) trainers is an Orc chief, and at least in my experience the skill levels kinda slowly.

A fresh take on necromancy is great! I love how grounded the backstory and the character is. I enjoy Paradoxical builds like this! Great work again guys!

Thank the nine you guys released a new video today, I just discovered your channel at the beginning of this week and finished watching all the Skyrim build videos last night, lol. Great job on the characters and channel!

Awesome! I don't normally love a necromancer as they're too passive, but I like how this one's right in there tanking hits and flinging their staff around. The headpiece really makes the aesthetic for me.

Truly awesome, you've outdone yourselves here. Cool aesthetic, yet fitting with the character theme, and a moving backstory, one of your best I feel. Really creative stuff, and beautifully produced as always.

Another amazing build!

Y’all are incredible seriously. You make me want to play Skyrim even if I did everything

I am watching this video for a second time and only just caught the reference to the Daedric Warchief. I love the anniversary edition content and can't wait for future Skyrim builds!

the background is phenomenal! everything else is just icing on an already delicious cake, as far as i'm concerned🎂

You guys do such a good job. Your characters are always interesting and your videos are so nicely edited. I can’t wait for you guys to blow up like some other channels. You deserve it

Can no one else find the bone colossus

Sick build with an awesome aesthetic, overall a really cool build

You guys are masters of synergy! Love the occult farmer vibe :) Reflecting on the stories in this video, as well as those of the Daedric Warchief and Redoran Swordmaster, I feel like it would be really fun to play as a cocky, glory seeking Breton knight-errant.

Builds like these are exactly the reason l Follow this channel. So original. An Orc Shepherd? Turned Necromancer/Bone Shepherd? Never in a million years would l have thought of it. Plus, the gear. Brilliant choices. Great work from all involved. 👌🏻👌🏻

Just subscribed. Love these so much. Keep the anniversary builds coming!

Good thing I love skyrim and trying different ways to play; every time I see one of your builds I want to start over. Currently am at level 43 on the Oblivion Sentinel that I am playing as a Breton Conjurer named after The Wolf Queen Potema that I have been wanting to do. All of your builds become my favorite. I especially liked your builds "The Art Dealer " and am still working on "The Jade Huntress" that I named the Wilderqueen.

2 builds in one week, this is class guys well done 👍

Well, thank you for recommending this video to me YT, this build is pretty damn cool.

Wow, How are you guys just 5K? Amazing Video< hope to see more Anniversary Builds and Modded Builds!!!

This channel should have many more subscribers, videos are so well done

still didn't get skyrim anniversary edition yet but i will def watch every one of your builds before i do eventually buy it

Your videos have such a cool cinematic vibe, such nice production! Love this man, really cool how it subverts the whole "necromancer = edgy and evil" trope alot of builds go for :)

Pls make a build with the ghostspells

I love the backstory connection to the Sunfire Herald! I'm excited to see how the Skypothesis universe will expand next!

Great build guys, and an awesome aesthetic.

I’m loving the backstory and concept for this character. It’s so refreshing!

Just by seeing the intro I KNEW the Ashabah would be somehow related to her, considering she too is a spellshield. Very great build as always, and I like that we now have a 'traditional' necromancer in the SBU (Skypothesis Build Universe)!

Yes! More innovate builds!

skypothesis be the only thing keeping me going till es6

Absolutely love the build keep up the epic content

The Bone Shepherd and Daedric Warchief are from the same Stronghold? Maybe the plot thickens?

haven’t had the chance to play AE yet and used the bone shepard to dig into all the new content! i’ve been having a blast and love this unique build 😄

Excellent as always, I love how she's basically a reversed Sunfire Herald.

this is unbelievably awesome

Amazing and detailed build, can’t wait to try put the spells. Now I will be waiting for the new unarmed gauntlets. A build I want to make is a spellsword but that utilizes ward spells, and has no armor so they use alteration. Utility spells only. I feel like that is a great build opportunity that can be roleplayed to hunt evil and undead, but never wanted to join a guild until they decided to work with the dawnguard, but they still refuse to use their armor as it slows them down and they have faith in their magic prowess. I would love to hear your take on that too :)

Love this build

My favorite skypothesis build

Brother I just wanna say you’re awesome please keep making this type of content it will take you a long way in life and it helps keep my depression at bay

hope yall blow up this content is really rad! more orc builds PLEASE

I watched an anime called The Faraway Paladin, and I realized you guys don’t have a Paladin build yet. The sun fire Herald is close obviously but not quite it. Awesome build as always guys.

I really love this build thx

Brother I just wanna say you’re awesome please keep making this type of content it will take you a long way in life and it helps keep my depression at bay❤️

I like that you mentioned a couple of moments from across the main quest, describing how she reacts to specific situations: like when you mentioned how uncomfortable she would be when at the Thalmors party. That’s very humanizing. I encourage you to mention more specific moments and reactions from various quest lines in your other builds.

The Bone Shepherd's habitat getting destroyed by The Sunfire Herald? Damn...

Can’t wait to get my hands on this

I love how the character is so simple yet in-depth, if that even makes sense 🤣

I've made a couple of builds/fantasy playthroughs so far. With the new silver armor and the ice blade of the monarch I made a evil hunting knight, with Trueflame and the elven armor variant I made a an Ex-captain from hammerfell and at one point I'm going to make a new mage with that blue staff the anniversary edition gave us

I’ve recently made a khajiit monk character using the same staff I switch between paralysis, calm and a unenchanted version which I can block and bash with

Great video!

Excellent video

Dream build right here lol definitely going to try it after my current Odin build

The sins of the Herald give rise to a Shepherd... The Ghost sees all...the Ghost sees all...

subscribed. yay for a no match/mod build. just came across the content. Will be looking forward to it

We asked for a necromancer build and Holy Mother of Pearl did you deliver

Funnily enough my AE character is an orc necromancer.. it's more brutish but I was planning on using dragonbone with the jagged crown. Keep up the good work as always!

I swear nothing feels better than getting a notification for a new skypothesis build video

Currently playing a vampire “Dreadlord” version of this build. Very fun.

Just found your channel and I ADORE it! I couldn't find builds who ere trying to break the game or use mods (I'm on Switch) When I will get my new PC in 2 weeks, the first I'll do is buy Skyrim and play one of your builds!

Trying this one out now. Looks fun.

Awesome video!!! I just wish I had heard of this channel before now. 😢

Some of the stuff in the creation club is amazing for new builds. At the moment I'm playing a female woodelf with a focus on Magic (Fire spells, paralyzing spells, poison rune and the most important spell Pride of Hirstaang the new bear summon) It feels a lot like playing the druid class from Diablo 2 in Skyrim.^^

I think a cool build idea is like an argonion with like dragon powers or something like a battle mage that uses shouts as their primary weapon

Thats such a nice build. The combination of a peaceful yet strong character with necromancy and the orc race of all things does come together so seamlessly i just had to try it! And it is still a lot of fun. ʕᵔᴥᵔʔ

This was a lot of fun! Have you guys considered sharing a mod video where you show us what graphic mods you use? Your videos look great!

The spell looks dangerous. Keep your distance!

Another killer build

Great video, fudge muppet should shout you guys out

Touched by your storyline

combining this with Ordinators' Bone Collector perk would be somethin' else...

Nice vid

I have been enjoying working up my character whom I named Gorlana Bone Shaper. Currently she has a fellow Orc as a follwer after helping Groza and visiting Dushnikh Yal. I had her unlock Gallow Halls then headed to the College of Winterhold only to find out the Mages didn't like the Boneman she had following her and they killed it.

Can we take a moment to appreciate how they took care to make sure this build offer a completely different Necromancer experience than the Auramancer ? Two antisocial non-evil necromancers who only care about necromancy for the sake of scholarship. But the first is a 100% pure mage character who use the Aetherial Crown to raise an entire army with the Aetherial Crown exploit while the other is a Shephred battlemage who craft her own minions using pieces of corpses and who treats them like animals she treats with love and care. This is where you realize how seriously the two brothers take this channel, they put a lot of hard work on it and and never disapointed us with characters who feel way too similare while others channels have at least 4 nord barbarian who feels all the same. It must be a real pleasure to be one of your collegues in real life, happy birthday to Skypothesis and i hope this channel will find the success it deserve and stay active a long time !

“Bonesaw is ready!!!”

I was waiting for the Necromancer Grimoire Creation for soooooo long… Necromancy in the base game is fine, but not nearly as convenient as atronachs or Daedra, glad this changes that a little

I wish people can go for different Skypothesis builds and just play Skyrim Together the multiplayer. I'd love to be a part of it.
